NJPW tried to get Nakamura according for Tanahashi's retirement show, but the Fed said no so AEW had to swoop in at the last moment and send Okada to save the show.
>>20669620This cunt is such a whiny faggot. Perfect fit for aew really.
>>20669620It was Tony who killed a Nakamura appearance. WWE was in talks with nooj and Tone Dawg said "nah senpai. no fed bois in my farm league! only real graps niggaz."
>>20669633Keep crying. >>20669644That's not what happened at all. Nakamura has said on the record that he did everything possible to try and be there and even tried to get a release from WWE.
>>20669620>PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LIKE US BECAUSE WE LET NJPW USE A GUY THEY SPENT A DECADE BUILDING UP WHO DOESN'T HAVE AN EXCLUSIVITY CONTRACT WITH US ANYWAYHoly fuck he's so pathetic.
>>20669658>Keep crying.He says while crying like the whiny faggot he is.
>>20669620he used to seem rather chillwhat happened to this guy, he's a complete bootlicker now
>>20669620yep, the drones are already fuming!
>>20669633WWE sucks
>>20669620He shaken because he knows the NJPW partnership is ending this month
>>20669671Is he really trying to frame it as generosity that tony didn't say no to letting okada appear on njpw's biggest show and win against his historic rival?This isn't even a WWE bad thing because fuck WWE for not letting Nakamura appear but trying to present AEW as the savior when they're the albatross around NJPW's neck that stops anyone from investing in their talent is stupid.
>>20669669Bootlicker? It's called loyalty. He's sticking up for the the lion mark and AEW against lies being spread by e-drones and nu-Japan fanboys who are butthurt Gedo can't book.
>>20669620EFC
>>20669659>all caps postingKek stay mad little guy
>>20669683didn't WWE just steal the last two stars NJPW had left?
>>20669684>loyaltyTo a company or brand is bootlicking, yes.>he's sticking up for the lion markkek>>20669686Worked
>>20669690Did they? Who the fuck are you even talking about? I don't keep up with WWE so you tell me lilbroBesides I said fuck WWE anyway, but also, fuck AEW and fuck Tony Khan kek
>>20669690Aaron Wolf and Callum Newman are still signed.
>>20669684>he's sticking up for the lion mark by letting everyone know the event that sold 31k tickets before okada was announced definitely only broke the records it did because heckin' generous aew let them use a guy they don't have exclusivity over to begin withfuck you, bootlicker
Was Okada really the second choice? Ouch. That must've bruised his ego.
>>20669700>AEW is the albatross!meanwhile WWE poached hiromu and evil (and jeff cobb and tall tonga an lmao) while the tonedawg graciously lets them use his talent to draw more than the same old bald uncs
>>20669705>that sold 31k tickets before okada was announcedThe cultists want you to forget that Tana's retirement was tracking and selling FAR better than ANY Okada dome main event before Okada was announced.>>20669714There can be more than one bad guy lilbroLike AEW poached Gabe Kidd and is gearing up to poach Newman (not mad about that one though, he can't work for shit so he belongs in the paki shop)
>>20669702callum will be gone in no time
>>20669714Iyo Sky poached hiromu and evil
>>20669718>There can be more than one bad guy lilbrothe bad guy japan and the fact that they won't pay their top guys anywhere near what they can make in WWE or AEW
>>20669684>he's sticking up for the lion mark against _______ nu-japan fanboysWow great of Will to stick up for NJPW against uhhhh actual fans of NJPWFuck AEW and fuck ospreay, Takagi's greatest sin was carrying this bum.
>>20669718You're just a racist asshole.
>>20669727>they're bad because they don't have a billionaire daddy or corporate backing!Bootlicker.>>20669730Yeah, but only against shitskins.Gonna cry, paki?
>>20669620Seriously what the fuck is WWE’s problem and why are they so unlikeable?
>>20669729>actual fans of NJPWnobody in those twitter replies saying they would have sold out without okada is a fan of NJPW because obviously they're totally clueless
>Speirs reported that Nakamura had requested his release from WWE so that he could be able to wrestle Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom 20. The idea being Nakamura being released from WWE would not create any potential political issues with NJPW’s current partnerships with AEW and CMLL. Nakamura reportedly has a clause in his WWE contract that allows him to wrestle for other companies in Japan.>Speirs also reported that WWE officials had originally agreed to Nakamura’s release request but later changed their mind and informed all parties that Nakamura could still work the match but he would not be released from his contract with them. This change reportedly took place following WWE’s tour of Japan this past July.>Dave Meltzer reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that Tanahashi did want to face Nakamura. Tanahashi also had felt that out of all the choices available for a final opponent, the best choice for him to gave a great match would have been with Okada.>Meltzer also reported that NJPW officials had also considered Kenny Omega and Tetsuya Naito but it is currently not known how serious both were considered for the talks for Tanahashi’s final match.
>>20669736Evil soulless corpo scum
>>20669738They sold 31,000 tickets before a match was even announced.That's almost as much as the biggest Dome business Okada ever did (and he had Naito to draw the house FOR him)They'd have most likely cleared previous records just looking at the tracking lmao, larp harder, aewtist leechNew Japan fans HATE you btw
>>20669744WWE is fucking scum for pulling this btw
Nakamura is being held hostage
>>20669744Such a shame we had to deal with more dimeless fucking Nepokada and aew wank instead of getting Nakamura, Tana's TRUE rival.
>>20669753>New Japan fans HATE you btwNo they don't. Only the super reatrded autistic ones who refuse to acknowledge the financial realities and e-drones flasflagging. Everyone with half a brain knows Will, Kenny, THe Bucks, Hangman, and TOny all respect the Lion Mark.
>>20669620>we're the good guys, love us, please, love us because WWE badIt's so desperate and cloying.I used to hate WWE and AEW equally but now I think I hate AEW a bit more.
>>20669753and they sold out when okada was announced. send your thanks to tony@aew.com for drawing the house.
This is what happens when you spread your asshole for AEW
>>20669781The unfortunate financial reality of the yen and NJPW's even-more-unfortunate reliance on an incompetent dog-wanker whose play-fed is yet to have a single decent wrestling match doesn't mar or alter the fact that New Japan fans HATE you btw>th-they respect the lion mark!Don't give a single fuck because AEW is still a blight and a cancer and the only good wrestler you mentioned is Kenny.>>20669785Thanks for drawing the house, Tanahashi.I'd thank Okada but he never even did that when NJPW was handling him properly kek
>>20669769>Tana's TRUE rival.>failed ace>failed weight management >failed president>had to retire for anyone to care about himHis true rival is success
>>20669781yep, basically the contingent that posts on reddit and most recently here. though that's a small faction compared to the e-drones that just use this for more of their endless console warring.
>>20669768he's literally getting paid millions to surf. nakamura got to milk the money marks and get rich without taking more than a few bumps a year. lanny poffo ain't got shit on him.i respect it, he earned his retirement.
>>20669620>Referring to WWE as the "Fed"AEW cultists are such whiny pussy ass bitches
>>20669791Silence, hog.>>20669781>>20669792New JaCHADS spit in the face of AEW trannies and E-Hogs equally btw
i shoot hope everyone working for aew and tony khan die
>>20669793He asked to quit ane WWE agreed but then said no. He is a hostage.
>>20669795>HE SAID MY TRIGGER WORD!
Why is Tony making the talent he poached form NJPW shit on NJPW?
>>20669802This is an Inokiist board. Tanahashi's Nu Jamal Ladyboy Dancing has no place here.
>>20669816i think from reporting at the time WWE re-signed him after reneging on the agreement to release him. probably a payoff to keep him from bitching, and one of the reasons he didn't get cut this year despite them not really using him. TKO and WWE are still fucking evil, but at least nakamura got paid.
>>20669817Ain't that the guy who never even peaked in the top 3 of merch sales despite getting a romanetty-tier push from NJPW kek>>20669821Honestly I don't really even give a shit if you hate Tana as long as you hate AEW you're a brother to me brother
>>20669658Nakamura is a man. An adult. With a brain capable of making sound decisions. He chose to sign with WWE. If he was worried about missing out on Tanahashi's retirement he should have renewed his contract. If they were really as close as people make it out to be, Tanahashi would have told him early enough. If Nakamura signed a deal and had to honor his commitments to the company he worked for, it's as simple as that and there is absolutely nothing malicious about it.
>>20669818okada went and had the best match of the year and then immediately did an interview shitting on NJPW management and praising tonyya just gotta love the rainmaker baby
>>20669781>>20669792>it's my boogeymen and the evil e-drones!meanwhile actual japanese people on imageboards be calling you poopdickers out for what you areFUCK T K>>20669829>okada went and had the best match of the yearkekany njpw fan worth their salt will tell you that was painfully mediocrethen again, painful mediocrity is a godsend in aew
if i saw an aew fan irl i'd ask them to step away from the child and spit in their worthless hog face
>>20669817AEW is losing its TV deal.
>>20669834>actual japanese people on imageboardsthanks for the update, redditor
>>20669839fuck you, hog
>>20669838No they aren't but netflix is cancelling wwe
aew fans always get so fucking mad when you remind them real wrestling fans and not bitter ex-e-drones who like tony's paki slopshop hate their fucking gutsfuck you aewtist LMFAO
>>20669825>getting a romanetty-tier push from NJPW kekIt legit blows my mind how easily western wrestling fans just fall in line with the "GOATkada" myth, Naito was the Michaels who got booked as a Jannetty. Okada is just jap Roman except I think Roman did eventually do some decent merch numbers.
>>20669668Who, Ospreay? Yeah he is a gotten to crybaby bitch. Who could deny it at this point?
>>20669858Not just Naito, Tana was always a bigger draw than him too and there were usually two or three other guys filling out the top 3-5 slots who would interchangeably do more merch than himHe was at best a static number 4 merchandise guy who was a fine pillar around which lots of bigger draws revolved
>>20669858>It legit blows my mind how easily western wrestling fans just fall in line with the "GOATkada" mythThey get all their info from tranny youtubers who make 4 hour long video essays.
>>20669764They literally said that Shinsuke could do the match. And Tony wouldn't let NJPW do it if Shinsuke was still signed to WWE.
>>20669817More like he said the reddit word
well now that bushiroad is out of the picture things are looking up for njpw
>>20669620We all know Tony would've lost his shit if a WWE wrestler showed up in new japan
>>20669744So Tony just threw a temper tantrum and said he’d only allow Nak to work the match if he was free and clear to be put right into the toybox afterward.
>>20669878They agreed to release Nakamura so he could do the match. And then, at the eleventh hour, they pulled the rug to try and play politics with it. Scum fucking company.
>>20669744lil tony had tardrage and didnt allow nakamura to work with tanafuck tk
>>20669916He could still work the match, what's the issue?Oh yeah, Tiny Tony.
>>20669916>We're not releasing you from your contract but you can still work the match. So WWE was totally okay with it. And New Japan was okay with it. I wonder who wasn't okay with it...
>>20669928If it was no issue, why did WWE go back on their word?
>>20669916Why would they completely release him from his contract to work a match in Japan? And then just see him show up in AEW a week later? They agreed to let him do the match, Tana wanted the match, but NJPW was compelled by outside forces to not do it. That’s pettiness by Tony
>>20669939>go back on their wordThey said he could work the match though
>>20669945Ask WWE. They agreed to release him, and then decided not to after. This is reported on by several sources and not in dispute. Why would they do such a thing and risk the match? Surely they wouldn't be evil cocksuckers that just like to try and disrupt things they can't control, can they?
>>20669961Sounds like lil tony cockblocked us from wrestlekinomany such cases
>>20669961Ask Meltzer, he himself said WWE were okay with it and Tony said no
>>20669961I just asked WWE, they said you’re a huge faggot. Glad we put that one to bed.
>>20669961Why couldn't Tony just let Nakamura work the match regardless of whether or not he was under contract with WWE?
>>20669986Kek, concession accepted. Dry those tears, little piggy. Better luck next time.
>>20669974What an evil little man he is
Lol dronies wished they can watch New Japan instead of terrible booked bloodline and danhausen garbage
I was wondering why Ospreay was still bitching about this on Twitter and then I realized he’s probably on a transatlantic flight so that he can do a 10 minute in-ring angle tomorrow night before flying back to bongland.
>>20669961But WWE said he could work the match and never went back on thatI wonder who could possibly take issueI wonder who's a spiteful little manchild that doesn't respect NJPW
>>20669988I don't know. Nakamura probably does, which is why he asked for his release prior to working the match (which WWE agreed to, before going back on their word)
>>20669974>>20669980>>20669986>>20669988Oh look, the w0lfc0rd is here to attackGLUCK GLUCK GLUCKThat makes you mad, huh?GLUCK GLUCK *POP*GLUCK GLUCK *POP*
>>20669988His working the match was never in dispute, they never said he couldn't>>20669996gms
Is it true that Tanahashi wanted Shinsuke for his final opponent, and WWE was willing for the match to happen, but Tony wouldn't allow it?
>>20670013mindbroken>>20670022'Fraid so. Had to settle for midkada
>>20670022That is what was initially reported, then Meltzer and co. pretended they didn't report that and tried to vaguely blame WWE somehow.
>>20670006Do you have any evidence this happened?
>>20670059>>20670063Is it also true that AEW fans are furious because TNA isn't allowing their wrestlers to face AEW wrestlers on the indies because of their relationship with WWE, when that is exactly what Tony pulled with New Japan here?
>>20670099Wow AEW is a truly evil company.
>We have been wary of some of the descriptions we have received from New Japan sources when it comes to Tony Khan this year, being that we had a first hand denial of a non-reported story concerning him during the “Wrestle Dynasty” event. However, whilst we did receive some more ‘colourful’ descriptions of his reaction to the Nakamura news, it is fair to say that all agree that he was not happy about the prospect and that there were communications with New Japan around it at this point.
>>20670116What a worthless piece of shit he is
>>20669679Yeah he's talking some seriously disrespectful shit about them. He said in another tweet that it was thanks to AEW that NJPW existed or something crazy. Long tirades about a company he owes the roof over his wife's son's head for. I sincerely think he's having a mental break
Dave Meltzer doesn't know about anything that goes on in Japan. Some random troll pretended to work for Dragon Gate and sent him fake news for a year and no one noticed.
>>20670147Kinda funny that he said that the reason why WK sold out is due to the generosity of TOnikanhttps://x.com/WillOspreay/status/2066466939581415607
Fuck Tony Khan, Fuck Mick Foley, Fuck Will Ospreay, and fuck AEW.
>>20670171WWE dodged a bullet with this guy
>>20669620>FedKek what a bitch
>>20670171kek what an asshole>sure tony stole all their top guys but why can't they just make some new ones???fucking cunt
Ospreay sounds like an e-drone when he sweeps for Tony. He uses all the same arguments.
Meltzer confirming WWE wanted Nakamura to be at WKhttps://youtu.be/slEMFvB7zw8?si=3Jzwmy7L4xcQQH3x
>>20669620nobody cares
>>20670267Dave doesn't know anything
>>20670267Tony is the enemy of wrestling
>>20670207why can't they make some new ones?
>>20669839Holy shit do you not even know what 2chan is. Fuck.
>>20670281They did, and the new ones got poached during after NJPW built them up
>>20670338then why can't they just make some new ones?
>>20670351Fuck you
>>20669620literally who gives a fuck about that nobody
>>20670432Kek this drone is retarded
>>20670351They're in the process of trying to, but we know they'll just get poached again
>>20670267They're trying to ignore that this was posted
>>20669671>E6LL LOSTwhat>>20669793he earned it, but i still miss him
>>20669620I vividly remember them saying this was always the plan, turns out they were last minute replacement kek
>>20669620>gets married>best day of his life>some random black kid is the ring bearer>can’t help sperging out on twitterWill is shoot hilarious
>>20669620So lucky that AEW came in to save NJPW with a guy the audience know as a New Japan guy and so unfortunate evil WWE couldn't let Nakamura work WK because Tony had a tantrum
>>20670460couldn’t answer the question piggy? too hard for you?
>>20670171damn he's really deep throating Tony, is he about to ask for another 0 in his contract?
>>20669620Why he talking like Punished BT?
Fuck the fedSimple as
>>20669620i want to say the el grande match broke him but he was already in the having melties a bit before thatthe fuck happened?
>>20670825basedhate world weinstein epstein and every employee and fan associated with it
>>20670839It all goes back to Triple H saying he couldn't handle the grind of the WWE schedule.
>>20670840We know, crippy, we know.
>>20670840wake that up
>>20669620Is he going through some shit? Hes been upset lately
that's very naive on NJPW's part
Okada was clearly the better choice regardless, the 2015 G1 Final was the only truly great Tana/Nak match imo while the retirement match was like the 10th Tanahashi vs. Okada classic
>>20669620>Nakamura signed a contract >The contract is clear>REEEE FUCK WWE FOR THE CONTRACT Why don't libtards assign accountability to people? Nakamura knew what he was signing.
>>20672072So you admit WWE blocked it and not big bad Tony Khan?
>>20672086Nakamura screwed Nakamura.
>>20670711That's not what happened.
>>20670825She has a black baby
